Actually here code requires a 120 setting on the tank... OR the valve... Some plumbers do both. Its a pretty new requirement here (less than 5 years.)

But I just open my heater up and change it so it gets hot like its supposed to... I hate not being able to get HOT water when I want it. Being as I do all my own plumbing, electrical, construction, etc.. its not an issue for me.

I also HATE legislation that comes about because people are unwilling to take responsibility for themselves.

Usually the tank has a access panel near the top held on with a couple screws...

If you remove it there's typically a thermostatic adjustment behind it... Just set it to the higher temp.

Then replace the panel.

(DISCLAIMER: I hold no responsibility for any personal injury or damage to goods suffered either during the change or as a result of the change. This assumes you are responsible for yourself and are capable of deciding if its right for you.)
